Rub a dub dub. Sharon Angle will need a super scrub.

Here comes the “scrubbers.” These are the political professionals who come in to scrub up the messier parts of a candidate’s life. I  don’t know if that’s what they are really called, but that is the job of many operatives when they have a candidate whose past or past statements are as messed up as soup sandwich.

The scrubbers have a challenge on their hand with Republican Senate candidate Sharon Angle. The former Nevada assemblywoman will face Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in the General Election.

While many of those promoting the Tea Party points of view have as of late sought to soften the nuttiness in some of their kindred spirits some of the nuts unfortunately make it out of their shell and gets themselves into a real political race. Angle is one, the son of perennial presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, Dr. Rand Paul, is another.

Angle is going to take some extra scrubbing with her desire to end Social Security noted in past statements as well as alluding to armed rebellion. With that latter thought, if people — Democrats — weren’t so afraid of their shadows, they haul about half a thousand folks or so up before federal courts on treason charges. Angle has also shown sympathy for the Church of Scientology. And the beat goes on …

Good luck to our (Texas’) white-haired Sen. John Cornyn, who is heading the GOP’s National Senatorial Committee for this year’s elections. He and the paid pro scrubbers are going to be scrubbing day and night. You know, of course, I’m kidding about wishing Cornyn good luck.
